I, v zles consisting of a p l# polygons, the main o T all 'whom t mayv concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN NinnonKA', a citizen of Poland, residin at Chicago, in the county of Cook and tate of Illinois, I have invented certain'new and useful Im,-

the following isa speciiieation. y

The invention relates to geometrical puz.- ylurality of regular ject of which isA to construct a comparatively large number'of regular eometricalii'gures, employin coinparative y few polygons, by proper y arran'gin and laying said polygons edgewise.

l Anot er object of the-invention is to rovideseven regular polygons, ourv of w ich live regular geometrical' figures maybe selectively constructed by arranging said polygnsandlayin' them ed wise.

i0 Afurther o` ject of -t e invention is to provide a uzzle consisting of 'a numberof regular po ygons, which, when properly arranged and laid edgewise, will selectively form a square,i a rectangle, a hexagon, an

I i isosceles triangle, and .a rhomboid.

A further object ofjthe invention is the rovisionxof' an article of manufacture consisting of a plurality of poly onal blocks, which; when properly arrange will selecv 30' tively form a-plurality of blocks of definite geometrical configuration.

' -1 In the drawing,vwherein like designating' 'characters refer corresponding partsv Y 4throughout,theseveral' views, Fig. 1 illustrates a square; Fig. 2- shows a, rectangle;

Fig. gshows a Aliexagon' Fig. 4 illustrates l n isosceles triangle.; an Fig; represents.

a'rhomboid. 1 r

. lAll of the geometrical figures-hereinabove 40 named and shown by the respective views on thel drawing areforlned by' the same seven poly ons or polygonal blocks which have regu :ir-geometrical shapes. 'Said polygone comprise ,two isosceles triangles 1 and 2 of like dimensions; two yisosce'les triangles 3 and 4 of like1 gliinensionasaid triangles having asize' lapger'thanl the first mentioned two triangles one square 5,; one square- 6, said squarebelng larger than the first named square; and one rhomboid 7.

I The polygonal blocks' hereinabove enumerated are made of -wood, card-board, metal or any other suitable material, and for the sake of neatness and appearance the thickness .of the polygons should be uniform.

When the polygons are d isarranged the will present to the uninitiated a rather di fiicult problem to arrange them into various' provements In Geometrical Puzzles, of which tgeometrlcal A ii ures hereinabove specified Y and shown on t e drawing, and will provide a useful and educational amusement for children as well as for adults.

`of any one of the fl ures shown in the drawing may be provi ed for inclosing therewithin the polygonalv blocks in arranged 'formation corresponding the shape of the casing. ,i

While there-is herein shown and described the preferred embodiment of the present im vention, it is nevertheless understood that .invention as claimed.
